Redesigned Wood Box

Just in case you hadn't noticed, I love playing with boxes. I dry brushed this one white, before giving it a French touch.

I copied the image (from my ephemera collection) onto very thin tissue paper. After decoupaging it to the box, and sealing it, it looks (and feels) more like a transfer.

I didn't put a label on the other side. Instead, I made it look as though a label was there, but, wore off. I used grey stain for the weathered look.

Although my shows, and garage sale went well, having them so close together really wore me out. I'll be focusing on appointments, and Etsy this week. Hmmmmm, maybe one more garage sale............................

O, Rosemary,That first picture caued me to gasp, it was as if I was opening a magazine to a beautifully inspiring photo, truly it is just so beautiful over here and again you have inspired me to do more with garden boxes and flowers :)

Your photos remind me of an add for a European Florist shop you deserve every comment of cheer.

thank you girl for taking the time to visit me, I love seeing a comment for you, now I want to come over and paint boxes and arrange florals.

I love that transfer!! So beautiful, can you share that!! I have to catch up on my Etsy too, oh well, work first. Oh I did a Rosemary special this weekend, spent Sat and Sun painting, painting, lamps, candles, chandiler, table, chairs. Oh my, I need to rest with you, Di@Cottage-wishes

Oh Rosemary, your box is beautiful and so is your photography! I just acquired a box! Please tell me how you copied onto tissue paper. Did you use your home printer? Print in 2 pieces? Please share your secrets!
